I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Middlebury, VT) in Sep 2015
Interview
Applied through my on campus career center. Got a reply back within a week. Had an on campus interview. It was approximately 30 minutes long with recent alums. The questions were straight forward and the interviewers were friendly but did not seem to care too much about being present. Asked about resume and school projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is omitted variable bias and how would you explain it to a customer?
Two technical interviews, with example real world scenarios. Real world scenarios could be BEC, ransomware, or dead-box forensics. Then, two "personality/vibe" interviews, where they asked about how you handle failure, difficult or new scenarios, and what your work approach is.
There are two rounds of interview for incoming analysts, One with two juniors, fairly quick and not technical. There was also a second interview with 4 rounds, each of which was with a more senior level person

Question 1
Why I am interested in the practice area I applied for
Smooth. 2 rounds of interview. A lot of questions surrounding research experiences and data processing. Not too many technicals. Many fit questions as well. Generally not difficult and got back to me pretty fast.
